Why pre-order?
In today’s environment and economy, I've been spoiled with pre-orders arriving on the date of release.
Not this album. 16 days after release it arrived.
Even when the system finally updated and said it had been shipped, USPS showed a shipping label printed. It was an additional 3 days before it actually was "received".
Album arrived pristine, despite improper bumpers (old, flimsy, discarded album covers are very unprofessional).
Thinking I had been scammed, I ordered a 2nd copy on day 7 from Discogs that arrived 3 days sooner than my pre-order.
Never again. Sorry. You can do better. I am also a seller. I always ship same day or next business day and have never had a shipment take longer than 5 days. 16 is ridiculous. And I pay the extra .20c for 2 stiff cardboard bumpers. I don't even pretend to be professional, but along with my logo stamp and 5mm protective sleeves, my pagages are far superior to this.
3 stars because at least I eventually received it in good condition.
